Between exploring ice caves and chasing fall colors in the beautiful Engadin!🇨🇭

This whole adventure started when Flo and I got a call from Felix and Eline, asking if we wanted to join them on a last minute road trip to Switzerland. 🏔️

As many of you know, I absolutely love spontaneous adventures, so I packed up the van and the next day we were already on our way! 🥳

And let me tell you, it was the best decision ever because we got welcomed by the most insane fall colors and bluebird conditions for the next days to come!☀️

We even got company by our Swiss friends @sam.rogue @samuuw & @timmy__films ,who joined us and showed us even more incredible spots.

Let this be your reminder to say yes to that last minute adventure and explore our beautiful planet!🌎

VADDAS - WORLD PREMIERE

I am super stoked to announce the world premiere of my new ski film “VADDAS”!🙌🏻

Shot together with @mountaintriber during a two week ski expedition in the far north of Norway.

Over the past few months, I’ve poured countless hours and days into the post production. More than 2 TB of footage went through rough cuts, color correction, grading, title design, and countless refinements to finally become the finished film.

This one has been a long time in the making, and I can’t wait to finally share it with you.

--

VADDAS follows a group of skiers on a journey to the far north. Their destination is a remote mountain region where steep lines and the vastness of the Arctic landscape create the setting for an extraordinary freeride adventure.

Shortly before departure, however, it becomes clear that the trip will not go as planned: in the small 500-person village that is meant to serve as their starting point, the gas station burned down — a seemingly minor event that suddenly changes everything.

Between logistical uncertainty and the search for alternatives, the film becomes a story about patience, resilience, and the allure towards the unknown. As the sun finally rises, the journey reaches the descent they have been working towards all along.

The premiere will be on the 21.08.2026 at the Filmfest St. Anton. Can’t wait to see you guys there!

In Svalbard, no two days looked the same. Different anchor spots, different mountains, different weather windows, and constantly changing conditions 🧊

@skida.app helped us organize and plan our ski touring routes, compare options around each anchorage, and keep track of the tours we completed throughout the trip.

With new terrain to explore every day, having all our routes and planning tools in one place made decision-making easier — helping us adapt plans to the conditions and approach each day with a stronger focus on safe and informed choices in the mountains.

We’re already looking forward to taking @skida.app on many more ski tours next winter 🏔️ | AD taken in Svalbard by @merlin_visuals

Filming a wild polar bear in the Arctic.

One of those moments you dream about for years… and when it finally happens, it still doesn’t feel real.
Just raw wilderness and pure luck.

LAPLAND 🇫🇮 - on steroids

during our 10 days in @rukakuusamo , up in Finnish Lapland, we were welcomed with solid -30°C.

The kind of cold that makes every breath visible and your fingers freeze multiple times a day.🥶

But also the kind of place where sunsets take your breath away and the northern lights explode on the nightsky like it’s the most normal thing in the world.🤯

Lapland truly is a very special place on this planet and I can't wait to go back! taken in Ruka, Kuusamo by @merlin_visuals
